 | Comments: |
Roads/trails in good shape for today. Water bars on the climb after the cabin had lots of leaves in them. Sometimes knee deep which made for unsure footing as you didn't know where the ground would actually be. There are cairns and/or signs at all the turns you need to take. Summit canister was easy to find, but will need another notepad soon. The old one is falling apart, while the newer one has about 10 pages left it appeared. Another new thick ziplock bag would be good too as I saw a hole in the one there. Some mud along the ridge that was mostly frozen up today, but not completely. |
